Explanation
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for edible gelatin in quantities of 9 kg or less are subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG) such as food and beverage businesses. Comparable sources of waste generation also include bakeries and other artisanal food production businesses whose packaging waste can be collected at the rate that is normally associated with private households in waste bins that do not exceed 1,100 litres ('volume criterion').

Retail packaging and grouped packaging for edible gelatin in quantities exceeding 9 kg are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste in large commercial enterprise settings and in the food industry, e.g. with bakeries, caterers or artisanal food production businesses exceeding the volume criterion.

Shipment packaging for edible gelatin of all kinds typically accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation and, as such, is subject to system participation.
Specials
The quantity of edible gelatin can be given in litres or kilogrammes. Specifications in litres equal kilogrammes, and vice versa.

 		Delineation criterion
Delineation criterion

Criterion that relates to a specific product and determines whether the shipment, retail or grouped packaging in question is subject to system participation.

For food packaging, that delineation criterion often is quantity. For packaging filled with other products, the delineation criterion tends to be the number/volume or unit of the individual products contained in the packaging. Depending on the product, other criteria may be used within the scope of an overall market assessment to delineate or determine whether the system participation requirement applies to a packaging, such as the stress class in the case of laminate products.
